Pesticide Training and Testing dates for the 2017/2018 season are now available!

In Kentucky, it is required that any person handling, applying or supervising the use of pesticides as part of that person's job must be certified and licensed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Non-commercial pesticide applicators must complete 12 hours of training over a three-year period to remain certified. T2 is offering training and testing in Categories 3, 5 and 6 and continuing education for Categories 3, 5, 6 and 18.

Category 3, 5 and 6 Training and Testing

In order to prepare participants to take the certification exam, T2 offers six hours of classroom instruction, and at the completion of the training, the Department of Agriculture will administer the exam.
